She may be the ex-Mrs Reynolds, but ScarJo looks every bit the fresh, strong and independent woman on the red carpet for her new flick The Avengers in London last week.

Not only is she sporting one heck of a milkmaid braid (ding ding ding! Hair with creative flair gets top marks from me), she’s also embracing a bold red lip and a sexy shimmery eye that makes me want to scrap today’s natural eye and pink lip combo and tap into a piece of this pretty action.

Too often we’re seeing celebrities flaunting brushed-out curls and simple ponytails – or playing it safe with a smoky eye and a nude lip. So when someone really bites the bullet and strives to stand out from the crowd – well, I pin it as a look worth copying, don’t you?

-Next, load up your lashes with a black as black mascara that lifts and curls as you sweep. We love Bourjois Volume Glamour Ultra Black Mascara for its intense pigment and ability to lift your lashes from root to tip.

-For your lips, choose a nourishing lipstick that will stay put for hours and won’t leave your lips feeling dry and chapped. We love Lancome Rouge in Love lipstick in shade 185N for a bold red hue that is sure to stop traffic. Added nourishing and repairing oils work to ensure your lips are left feeling oh-so kissable.

-To mimic ScarJo’s do, start your braid behind your left ear and begin braiding around your hairline, take hair from the top of your head when braiding the top and then pull the rest into the braid as you begin braiding around the nape of your neck. Fasten the end when you reach your start point and tuck the end underneath the braid.

I think ScarJo could even exude sexiness in a hessian bag. She looks great, but I don't think I could pull it off- for one I'm too lazy to even try doing the hairstyle, lol, and red lips scare me, as much as I'd love to wear a sexy red lipstick.

Cute, but I'm too old to pull off this look without looking like a crazy woman!

I think she really suits the braid. I like the makeup but would probably do a softer lip if I wore the look.

This look is okay but I prefer the Waterfall, Vine and Rapunzel braid over this one.

She looks stunning! The milkmaid braid has always looked kind of dorky to me but wow ScarJo really makes it look sexy!

There's no denying Scarlett is beauiful and she looks so amazing with the mikmaid braid. Her make-up is understated, just stunning.

Scarlett just looks amazing and though I'm not a big fan of the milkmaid braid generally, she makes it look sophisticated.

Her hair looks ok. I prefer a french braid done around the crown of the head. LOVE her makeup though. Her face is flawless.

She looks fantastic! You make the milkmaid braid sounds so easy but I imagine it might get tricky doing it!

I think at the moment the trend of the milkmaid braid is ok for the red carpet look, but if the style were to become more commonplace then a more glamorous or different look is needed for the red carpet. Scarlette wears the milkmaid braid really well and looks chic, when she teems it with the great make-up look.
